Lighting Ideas

I am particuarly keen to keep a constant trend of high contrast between light and dark (Black and white for the de-saturated scenes, and a multitude of overly saturated colours set against dark, shiney wet pavements/roads within the night time scenes.

I've picked out this image below to show how certian parts of the man's body have been highlighed in an effort to really exagerate the muscle tone.



This B&W image below could be set in almost any era of modern times, I love the huge contrast between the dark, victorian station and the massive flood of light blasting in from the outside world.
Adapting the image, I would love to see a light from behind him protruding a huge shadow of his figure across the tracks, in a similar way to the cat photo below it.....





I particuarly like the way a layered set up of lighing has the effect of highlighting the very most forward parts of the woman's face - for example I love the way the skin area around her eye's are lit, yet her eyes themselves are huge dark holes....



This shot below, really shows off the Rembreandt Chiaroscuro effect beautifuly....
